Unstuck

This week Campus Pastor Josh Hamm invites us to see Peter’s long journey and trust that God’s purposes do not fail us, even when we hit walls, because Jesus restores us and keeps forming us. He calls us to pursue four beacons of formation from 1 Peter 5, moving from pride to humility, fear to faith through prayer, sluggishness to serious vigilance, and cowering to confident endurance as we trust the God of all grace to restore, strengthen, and establish us.

In week three of our Unstuck series, Director of Youth and Worship Kevin Lorow reminds us that failure is human, but our hope is not in hiding, justifying, or despairing because Jesus meets us in our failure with mercy. As Jesus restores Peter after his denial, we draw near, confront sin honestly, and let Jesus reorient us to new purpose instead of returning to old ways that leave us empty.

In week two of the Unstuck series, Campus Pastor Josh Hamm warns how subtle drift toward self-focus leaves us blind to our limits, inflates our confidence, and redefines greatness around success instead of service. From Luke 22, he shows that freedom comes when our eyes are reset on Jesus, the servant King, shifting our confidence from ourselves to his power and prayer so we can live humbly, serve others, and stay anchored in him rather than slowly drifting off course.

In the Unstuck series kickoff, Josh Hamm compares our “pedal to the floor” attempts to fix life’s ruts to a car spinning in the snow, showing how pride and shame keep us from accepting help and trusting Jesus when his instructions don’t make sense. Meeting Peter at the nets, Jesus exposes our need without pushing us away, replaces fear with grace, and pulls us into a new purpose so real change in 2026 looks like surrendering control, receiving help, and following him.
